Let the speculation begin!
Blind Items!

Didn't have time to read them all but:

What transforming young movie star already seemed problematic last year when, in the middle of a press junket, he would snap at underlings, "Where's my cigarette?" then would rudely bolt for a puffing break when he got one?

Shia Lebouff

Christ, Musto...paragraph breaks are your friend.

And: What male comeback star (in movies and mostly TV) is known as a completely cold, unpleasant fish to work with, though he can certainly turn on the charm when he needs to?

Patrick Dempsey?

Some of these are just far too broad or blah. I mean -- a fashion writer who calls a colleague "cavewoman"?

"Which legendary black singer was spotted at a store, where she was screaming into her cell phone..." Which one wasn't? Could be Tina, could be Whitney, could be Beyonce...pretty much anyone but Aretha (Only cause she doesn't fly anywhere!).

I'd say the couple who almost split were J Lo and Marc

Amanda LePore is the fake tranny?

The top anchor who's a bottom: Sam Champion--but that's hardly news

And Andre Talley is prob the Cavewoman one--that's by Musto an insult?

Hell, Joe, it could be Evelyn "Champagne" King for all we know...or care. A person shouting into a cell phone? What a scandal!

[lildogs]

Posted: 2/20/08 at 3:57pm

LOL--an Evelyn "Champagne" King reference! How 'bout Anita Ward?

And I second the paragraph break idea...

Amanda LePore can't be the fake tranny - I've seen pictures of her naked and she certainly doesn't have anything dangling down there anymore, unless she tucked it up in there or something.

Posted: 2/20/08 at 4:00pm

Alexis Arquette the fake tranny? If that were mine I wouldn't want to part with it either.

Candice Cayne?

(lildogs, it was a tossup between her and Thelma Houston...both the co-headliners with The Village People at Six Flag's Astroworld in Houston's gay days several years ago!)

[lildogs]

Posted: 2/20/08 at 4:05pm

Could be Candis...maybe I'll check that out if I ever go to Sip n' Twirl again...

Chris Noth?

[tazber]

Posted: 2/20/08 at 4:28pm

but is he a comeback star Goth? The clue is fish, but how it helps I don't know.

[blueroses]

"Which movie star who seems so brooding and enigmatic actually doesn't speak much because he doesn't have much to say, swears an insider? What model he was once aligned with also maintains much glamour and mystery by keeping her dumb trap shut (except to open it for drugs)?"

Johnny Depp and Kate Moss?

I thought the comeback kid was Rick Schroeder, but Dempsey is bigger.

"Which young Broadway leading lady has for several years fallen in love with every guy who plays opposite her, even though—or maybe because—it's always a gay?"

Any ideas, the only thing i could come up with was Sutton Foster (I cant really name another young "leading lady" that's been so for several years) but she's married so it's probably not her.



"What much younger songstress has very little actual chemistry with the husband, probably because she's a big old lesbo?"

Celine Dion?????

"Which legendary black singer was spotted at a store, where she was screaming into her cell phone, "Doesn't anyone read in your office? Don't you understand English? I told you to arrange that flight!"? Was it perhaps a flight on a broomstick?"

Umm the broomstick thing is obviously the hint, so I'd say Diana Ross but she wasn't Evilene in The Wiz so IDK.

Just the Broadway ones, if anyone wants them separated out:

"Which young Broadway leading lady has for several years fallen in love with every guy who plays opposite her, even though—or maybe because—it's always a gay?"

"Which beloved Broadway diva was supposedly the girlfriend of grande dame Judith Anderson all those diva years ago?"

"Which cute-as-a-button Broadway performer who's gone from leads to supporting roles is actually straight? (No, I'm serious. There's one Broadway male who really is a hetero, and this guy is it.)"

"Which other always-working Broadway type continually talks about a hot girlfriend who never materializes, for obvious reasons?"

"What lovable showbiz relic is so needy that if you show her a little kindness, she'll start calling you at two in the morning for lengthy chats every night for months?"

Stritch? I know she's a night owl.

[Liverpool]

Posted: 2/20/08 at 8:52pm

is she what you'd call "lovable" though jag? I mean I LOVE her, but i wouldn't describe her as lovable.

[JustAGuy]

Posted: 2/20/08 at 9:25pm

Point taken...although "lovable" is after all subjective, and Musto might have an entirely different take on it than you or me. I wouldn't find anyone lovable if they called me at 2AM just to chat.

Most theater performers are night owls, and I'm with Liverpool - I don't know many who would describe her as "lovable."

Also, it says "showbiz", meaning it could be any form of entertainment, not necessarily theater.

"Also, it says "showbiz", meaning it could be any form of entertainment, not necessarily theater."

As I said before it's subjective, I'm sure that there are people that even find you lovable. Since Musto was defining the person as "lovable" and not you or me, we'd have to have his definition to know for sure.

And you might want to take notice, that I put a question mark behind her name. As in...maybe he was speaking of Stritch...or maybe not.

Thanks for the lesson on what "showbiz" means I wouldn't have ever figured that out without your help...it was very "lovable" of you.

I think she was just speculating and ruminating - not necessarily trying to get at you.
A nice round of relaxatives, anyone?

"I think she was just speculating and ruminating - not necessarily trying to get at you.

I'll pass.

We've been down this road before. We have a mutual, and unfettered dislike for each other.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 2/20/08 at 11:03pm

Actually, I would have had the same response no matter who posted that. Postergirl was correct. I barely noticed who it was.

I don't dislike, you, JAG, I don't even know you.

Back to the topic at hand.
